metal collectors have beat up pick-ups.


We had a guy towing a trailer behind an Escalade (22" rims and all).
"Scrappers" come in all shapes and sizes these days. I am wrapping up
a building project and every scrap of metal I have set out near the
curb disappeared within a day, even twisted up rebar.


Escalade. Must be good money in scrap.
Can't wait to move the old fridge from the basement to the curb and
watch the action. Maybe I'll bring popcorn.

Check with the power company. Here in Calif they will pick up older excess
refrigerators and freezers and you get a check for $35.
